My wife was laid off in December, right before Christmas. 

She has been looking for work for three months now. She just now found a possible lead. So, imagine her anger when she sees Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in TV commercials on encouraging people to move to California to work.

Right now, California is ranked fifth in the country as one of the WORST states to find work in.

And yet our governor wants to bring MORE people into the state -  thus taking what few jobs there are away from those already living here!

Then, there is also the fact that Charles was wise enough to mention. Gov. Schwarzenegger has used illegal drugs in the past, yet now has the audacity to tell kids nowadays not to do them. 

It’s this kind of backwards thinking that drives me insane. I never could understand how one generation can do something, and then scream to the heavens when the next generation does the exact same thing.

And while we're on the subject of children, nice work pillaging and raping what was left of California's education, Gov. Schwarzenegger. I guess you finally got to put your Conan experience to good use.

Though I can't entirely blame Schwarzenegger on these horrible cuts to education. I also blame the leaders of the teacher's unions, who refuse to take pay cuts, and instead would rather take jobs away from hard working teachers.

So, in San Diego, we now have no money for cops, no money for schools, no money for road repairs, and almost no new jobs. So, where did the money go, Gov. Schwarzenegger? How can we get it back? Is there anything a concerned citizen voice can do to help, or should I just take care of the headache all this mess has given me?

And no, it is not a tumor.
